In my opinion, it would have been interesting to have Tam and Linh's characters switched.
A muscular, closed off, angry at the world Asian girl who can pack a few punches but really loves her brother and a sweet Asian boy who is more optimistic than his twin sister but still ready to kill for her if need be.
It would've been a pretty interesting dynamic to see.
Why did Shannon have to give LINH AND TAM of all people the LIGHTEST EYES? It has racist connotations and ok, sure, all elves have blue eyes, but there are so many different shades of blue-she could have gone with really dark blue for the Asian looking characters as well as the black looking characters. Like Oxford blue or Navy blue, something like that.
